Remote learning:
Use the following resources when directed in order to build up the fundamental skills to make the most of your classroom learning.
Polynomial division and factor theorem remote learning:
Log in to your Edpuzzle account and watch the algebraic methods assignment video. (You can sign in using Google; just make sure you are logged in to your DSFC account.)
Practice:
Try a selection of problems from these worksheets before completing the Google Form review question.
Remember to check your solutions at the end of the documents to assess your understanding.
Please submit photos of all of your work from the worksheets below to the Google Classroom remote learning post. These questions should represent an hour's work, in addition to the video and Google Form, and they should include a selection of the exam-style questions.
If you are unsure about any of this work, please use the rest of the resources on this page or contact your teacher to fully develop your understanding on the topic before your next lesson.
